Demonic Qi.

Li Ye could feel his Qi fortune blessings continuously dissipating, while his mana, or rather demonic qi, was rising at an exaggerated pace.

It seemed that the shattered gem was merely a trigger, and after it exploded, it completely unleashed the hidden demonic qi.

The monk no longer had the vitality to pay attention to Li Ye.

—The demonic qi devoured the Celestial Being blessed rice, which had been cultivated with countless hardships, like a ravenous beast.

The rice stalks fell in patches.

This scene would probably cause any cultivator of the Four Seasons Sect to feel heartache, as treasures of this level required a blend of heaven and earth's qi fortune to grow.

The monk's face was filled with distress.

"Young friend!"

"Stop quickly!"

"It can't be destroyed anymore, it really can't be destroyed anymore!"

It was obvious.

He thought Li Ye was controlling the demonic qi.

So while trying to restrain the demonic qi using his Divinity Transformation spiritual power, he wanted to quickly send Li Ye away.

At first glance.

One might think Li Ye was the villain.

This kind-hearted-looking monk seemed like a diligent old farmer just trying to protect his land.

However, Li Ye had no choice.

Even though the monk had stopped reciting those sinister scriptures and was trying to expel him, he didn't feel the slightest sense of rejection, and his Qi fortune blessings continued to flow continuously.

He even suspected whether the Celestial Dao was taking personal revenge, aiming to make the Four Seasons Sect bleed heavily.

This suspicion came from nowhere and lacked any evidence, but he felt the Celestial Dao must be "avenging" the "grudge" of him turning many Spirit Beasts and Spirit Plants into dragons before.

So these demonic qi posed no threat to him.

Or rather.

Is this a variant of his own power?

But I've always cultivated proper Taoist dharma methods and even achieved Five Elements Ascension, crossing the Celestial Being's threshold.

Why...

He tried to control the demonic qi.

Just as he raised his hand, the chaotic demonic qi suddenly surged toward his fingers.

It obediently circled around his fingertips.

The strands of black and red mist reflected his whole being like a demonic god—without affecting the transcendent aura of a Celestial Being, it only made it more dazzlingly radiant.

Dangerous, yet irresistibly alluring.

The monk naturally noticed this and, perhaps remembering something, couldn't hide his astonishment:

"Heart of Dao planting demon?"

"You... the Celestial Dao in the Tao Furnace Realm actually left a demonic seed for you!"

With his voice full of surprise.

The originally shattered into powder gem suddenly solidified again, but this time it was no longer translucent, but black-red, like coagulated blood, exerting an oppressive aura that made people want to flee.

It quietly fell onto Li Ye's wrist, seamlessly fitting in with the other beads beside it, clearly distinguishing itself, yet having no apparent "barrier" with them.

Even having a harmonious coexistence.

At the same time.

A tidal wave of knowledge surged into Li Ye's mind.

—This was an extremely special legacy left by the ancestor of the Four Seasons Sect when establishing heaven and earth.

It was what the monk had just referred to as the "Heart of Dao planting demon."

In simple terms, it meant turning a piece of extremely pure Taoist foundation into fertile and abundant land, then planting an almost demonic level "desire" into this soil.

Doing so allows a glimpse into the mysteries between Dao and demon, even enclosing "demon" within "Dao," reinforcing the world to ensure that it doesn't destabilize from the birth of Dao leading to the birthing of demon, influencing the foundation of this world.

This divine technique almost equates to the creation technique practiced by the ancestor who laid the foundation for the new world, using her own Tao foundation to plant a demon, thus stabilizing the foundation of the Tao Furnace Realm.

However, the requirements for this divine technique were too high.

Not only requiring an extremely solid, stable, pure Tao foundation like glass but also an extreme desire, or near-demonic obsession.

Although the Tao Furnace Realm is vast, due to the nature of the world itself, possessing both these traits simultaneously is extremely challenging.

Even Li Ye was brought here due to the clash between his own Qi fortune and the monk's extreme notion of using Celestial Being as the cornerstone to turn into Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

Thus, barely fulfilling the preconditions to practice this method.

Then, the Celestial Dao couldn't wait to pass this divine technique to Li Ye.

Yes.

Couldn't wait.

Li Ye rubbed his temples; the first phase of Heart of Dao planting demon was to condense the demonic qi within his body, but the problem was that this was merely his incarnation here.

Adding to the fact that the so-called "demon seed" could nearly account for the vast land here and all the Celestial Being blessed rice upon it, leading to the demonic qi devouring and boiling.

If he couldn't promptly condense this demonic qi into his primary body's Tao foundation to transform into a "demon seed," the demonic qi would spread wantonly and devour everything it could.

The more it devours.

The more difficult it becomes for Li Ye to plant the demon seed.

"..."

"You certainly know how to cause me trouble."

Li Ye sighed lightly.

However, compared to the actual benefits of planting the demon seed and cultivating this method, it truly wasn't much trouble at all.

Therefore, he looked up.

Wearing a bright smile on his face.

He said to the monk: "Why don't you honestly stick your neck out and await your doom, I'll call my elders to handle these troubles directly, if this deadlock continues, all your painstakingly cultivated Celestial Being blessed rice will be completely destroyed."
